The expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula gathered photographs and audio of icebergs, that will be used to project virtual icebergs onto landmark buildings around the world.

'Antarctica - while you were sleeping', an exhibition projecting a digital iceberg onto the exterior of the Auckland War Memorial Museum, is part of the 2017 Auckland Arts Festival.

The expedition was the brainchild of artist Joseph Michael, who gathered a team of eight film-makers and photographers who spent nearly a month in Antarctica aboard the yacht Australis, skippered by Roger Wallis.
